Happy Mooncake Festival!!
BBF aka Best Boy_friend. Town. DOME. The Ugly Truth. Swensens.

He has small eyes and a big mouth.
TADAA! His i-cant-wait-to-eat face..

She has big eyes (at least BIGGER lorr!) and sadly,
a big mouth too..
:'O

boy-friend from Dictionary.com

1. a frequent or favourite male companion; beau.

2. a male friend.

3. a male lover :)


Ohmy. Dont we just love going the extra mile - _ -

as we tried locating Shaw Towers..
Walking to and fro~ fun mah, pure blonde??

Sometimes, the truth can be really ugly.
we were rather tickled by the show
and i bet bet bet that Max Lim will LOVE it.. sooo many kinky jokes lo. =p
The lead actor expressed his love in a really eye-opening way.
Furiously he said, "I've fallen in love with a psycho like you!"
lolll.. Just imagine that.
No wonder Abby, the lead actress only caught the word 'Psycho' and got so mad.

Shouldnt he say those words with love? Made me understand that..
Its not what you say, but how you say it that matters.

ooh. i do enjoy those dumb and mindless teasings, (like always?)
those insightful conversations about our daily lives, future.. dreams and such! :)

thats what i call true communication ba! not just superficial words of exchange~
sometimes i feel that its good to have individual dates.
you can possibly get to see another facet of your friend~~
or hear some thoughts or views usually left unsaid due to unseen circumstances :P
somehow it'll increase the proximity between you and your friend de! hahaha.

"The key to finding love, is to not look for it."
A Love Happens movie date set with Angie and Jason!
Or probably (500) Days of Summer like what Angie suggested?

Oh oh. Before i forget..
We ended the night at Swensens.

That Banana Crumble tasted especially sweet. Aww..
♥
i wish we Ohanies can all sit in that hot air balloon!
take me away, a secret place
a sweet escape, take me away
to better days~
Yipppee..

"How do they get down from the hot air balloon ah?"

*pauses*

"Hmmm.. i think... Deflate lor..!"

HAHAHHAAH~ So blonde but cute.



p.s.

BBF ah. Sometimes you're actually better than what you think you are.
You dont even believe it yourself, but its true!
Know that and magnify those strengths of yours and have more confidence,
be it now.. in future, or in life..!

29 Oct 2009, Tuesday.

Was the day Ying Peng left for UK..
I felt a jerk of tear when i saw Tsu Hui and YP
hugging each other with their watery eyes.. bidding goodbye.
true friendship, it is.


then over to Maxie's where Zhiwei and i had a h.t.h chat.. :)
Friendship, Love, Ohana, Religion were some i can remember.
We also watched some rather touching videos...
And we shared our thoughts on manymany things! Just the two of us.


amazingly, we chatted for hours if im not mistaken.
this is when you can freely share your feelings
with somebody endeared to you.
and tada, you get to understand one another at a deeper level..
i'd like a friendship that runs as deep as an ocean =)
and not as shallow as a little lake.








p.s. ♥ h.t.h. talks!
i realised... its been a long time since i hugged someone.
When was yours?


Last but not least.. HAPPY CHILDRENS' DAY!!
booo.. i've got no present :(

Just for Laughs or should i say... Love?



Type #1: We’re-so-comfortable chemistry
Have you ever been with a guy who finishes your sentences, or a woman who’s so easy to talk to, you feel like you can be totally natural around her? Welcome to comfort chemistry—that effortless rapport and connection that can exist between two people. “People who share this chemistry often feel like they’re a unit,” says Harry Reis, Ph.D, a professor of psychology at the University of Rochester. “When they talk to each other, they almost feel like they’re talking to themselves.” Worried that all this familiarity makes you better friends than lovers? Never fear, simpatico feelings can often lead to lust later. “When you fall in love, the elevated activity of dopamine can affect levels of testosterone and trigger a heightened sex drive,” explains Fisher. Translation: You two may be passionate partners in no time!


Type #2: We-laugh-like-crazy-together chemistry
Ask someone to give you a wish list of what they look for in a mate, and humor almost always appears near the top of the list. “Everybody likes to laugh,” says Kate Wachs, Ph.D., a psychologist and author of Relationships for Dummies. “We’re all looking for a mate that helps us have fun.” Researchers have even found that laughing together increases how attractive people look to each other. So, don’t automatically relegate jokers to the role of “great to invite to a party.” Where there’s laughter, long-term love can follow: Just think how much easier it’ll be to get through all those rocky points that every relationship has sooner or later.


Type #3: We’re-so-complementary chemistry
While it’s important for us to find a mate who shares our values, we’re also attracted to those who are different from us. “We like complementary personalities who accentuate our good parts and mask our flaws,” says Dr. Fisher. For example, a sexy fashion model might have real chemistry with a nerdy mathematician—and vice versa. Why? She makes him feel sexy, and he makes her feel smart. Same goes for the anti-social type who marries a people person. We’re drawn to those who make us feel like better and more well-rounded people. Remember the famous line in Jerry Maguire: “You complete me”? That’s complementary chemistry in action.


Type #4: We-have-so-much-in-common chemistry
As anyone knows, finding common interests with your potential mate is a huge plus—whether that’s a penchant to cruise flea markets for that one-of-a-kind antique, or a love of camping deep in the wilderness. “We tend to gravitate towards people who share similar interests as us,” Dr. Fisher says. Not only does doing so make spending time together insanely easy, but sharing an activity you both enjoy allows you to get to know each other in a low-pressure environment. Plus, just think of what a bonding experience it would be if you both scaled those waterfalls at Yosemite together! These touchstones can become the foundation for a lot of fond memories—and a solid relationship.

Let me see. I guess its the first one for ya?
Happy 1st Monthsary to BFFJ !


Dont forget the path i set for the both for you,
Okok? :D
Hee..

p.s. ilu too!

HAPPY OHANA DAY!

I hope our friendship will always be in present tense,
One that never never ends.
:)

At the mention of 'babies', what actually comes into your mind?
Cute? Innocent? You just wanna pinch their oh-so-kawaii-neh chubby cheeks?




wahhahhaa.
babies are supery dupery fun to play with~ :D
but babysitting? NO!


i had a chance to do so... Wenbin and Wenxuan.
Early in the morning, YC had to crawl out of her cozy warm bed,
went to their house and started my Babysitting Mission!
Basically, i just felt like a maid doing some mundane chores...
put the water to boil, made Milo, vacuumed the house, brought them to the library
treated them to ice-cream (WEEE!) The list goes on.......
*yawnnn*


But there were some simple things we did
that made me sink into reminiscence..!
When i brought them to the playground,
i could see the children wearing their best smiles on their faces.
every child loves to play!
sigh so sad. i wished i could play together with them..
Why isnt there a playground for teenagers like us?!?!
Unfair!


gliding down the slides, playing the see-saw, or sit in a swing
going round and round and round in a merry-go-round~
i'd always lose one of my sandals everytime i visited the playground
- . - Wonder who's that stinky shoe stealer! Dont lemme catch euu.
and there was once, i accidentally somersaulted down the slide!!
head over heels lehhhh.
OmgOmg. it was a terrifying experience for a child like me then :S


then, it was watching cartoons!
when i was in primary school, i'd always hog on the TV set after school &
during weekends, sissy and me will get even more excited!!
Digimon, Doraemon, Pokemon, Akazukin Chaha, Teletubbies blahblahblah..


i could still remember that
my grandfather always prepared my favourite scrambled egg and bacon.
for dinner, he would prepare special dishes for us while he himself,
will just make do with simple bland ones like vegetables or beansprouts..
He only gives me the best.
Also he'll ensure that the fridge will always be chocked full of chocolates and sweets.
thinking about this.. the fridge now is as empty as can be.
But its consoling enough just to know he really loves us a whole lot.
im sure there's someone like him in your life too, right? :)


p.s. i miss those days.
And i miss grandpa.

28 September 2009- KITE FLYING EVENT AT West Coast Park



Probably my happiest day so far.

In the morning, met bff for breakfast for some h.t.h chatters.
awww.. she shared with me some blissful updates of her new found love.
i just like it when we connect :p
After which we set off we to wcp for the highly anticipated event!!
i thought kite flying will be an
easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy, chicken-feety affair for everyone.
all you have to do.... is to launch the kite into the sky..!

you wish ah. its really not that simple!
we have to get hold of the correct wind direction and angle before we can do that,
which was quite a back-breaking BUT crazily fun and happy process we went through.

meanwhile.. i realise that
Singaporeans can actually be quite warm and helpful.

Imagine 4 blonde girls trying to fly the kite... TWO WORDS:
Mission Impossible.
Seeing us in lodged in such a tragical situation,
some people actually came forward to help us voluntarily!

One kind man explained to us why the kite cant fly
One kind man told us offered to hold the kite up high so we can launch it correctly
One kind man attached a small little tail for our little kite
One kind man repaired our kite for us
Really grateful to the four kind men, man!

and finally....
The kite was flying in the sky!
Fly kite fly~ so freely in the blue blue sky.
if we were to get it right the first time..
i dont think we can feel such an outburst of joy at the end!
its often only after we experienced the initial struggle
can we truly taste the sweet fruit of success.
:D
SMILES~

And in the evening, my sis was really nice to me!
she brought home my favy creampuffs and ondeh ondeh.
weeeeeeee. what's there not to be happy about?
you tell me!

And so my day was made...
with Angie, Zhiwei, Felicia and my Sissy! ^^

MBFHABF!!

An addition of the sixth element in her life.
Smell something sweet? It's love! :)

Dear Diary,
Last Sunday morning..
Maxie and me went to Bukit Batok Community Centre.
Volunteered ourselves as mentors/tutors for the needy children.
it was really an eye opener and new experience for the both of us..


i think it wont be an easy task for me to guide them..
as you know, younger children tend to have a shorter attention span
and are easily distracted. (i think guolian will understand)
playful and jumpy *boingboingboing*
eeeek.. how am i going to capture their attention?


some are attention seekers, some are not.
Generally, the quieter ones are those with really low self-esteem
probably due to the fact that the children come from low income families..
and not well-taken care of at home. their parents might be
apathetic to the needs of their child, leaving them neglected and unloved.
its sad.. :(





I always thought that everyone would have their very own dream, their own direction in life.

but not necessarily so...

"What's your dream?"

When confronted with this question, some of them would simply reply..

"I don't know."

Is it because back at home, they dont really have someone to look up to, to inspire them?
Or is it because of the lack of low self-esteem, that caused them to extinguish the courage for them to dream a big dream?


well.. we may never know.
most of us are born into happy families, sheltered from all the sun and rain.
at home we're showered lavishly with care and concern by our parents..
in which might translate into something negative, known as nagging.
we may just take things for granted. (im guilty of this and im trying to change..)
But as compared to those little kids out there, we are really really very fortunate and lucky.


everyone knows we can never decide who our parents will be, right?
hope we can consciously cherish what we have before us.
Especially our family and friends..
those integral, important relationships that keep us alive all the time!
thankfully.. i've learnt this from Someone. =)


No doubt, waking up early on a Sunday morning will not be an easy chore for a pig like me!
but i guess i will just have to learnt how to adapt and sacrifice some sleep,
when you can turn those time into fulfilling moments as you guide those children.
im quite sure you'd able to sleep better at the end of the day..
;)


(Notice the contrast between this picture and the one before? I see hope..)





You never know what kind of surprises the day might bring.
Look, I woke up early and managed to capture the Sun right outside my window!~
^^v
i feel its time to do my part for the society. 19 years old le..
i'd like to share and spread some of the love i have to the less fortunate children.
hopefully i can impact their lives in some positive way ba!


Money doesnt determine how rich your life is,
meaning does.

27 & 28 July 2009

These 2 days i'll never forget.
For those were the most sinful/幸福 days in my 19 years of life!
taitai-time with Maxie!!
Shopped at ION Orchard.
Chilled at Starbucks.
Dined at Crystal Jade for consecutive 2 days.
OMG.

i actually thought i wont like the place,
thinking that it'd be just another Takashimaya/Vivo City..
Loaded with flashy designer brands that seemed so alien and unreachable to commoners like me.
But.. Somehow i liked the place.
The exterior of the building looks humongous and posh,
undoubtedly portraying Singapore as a shopping paradise..
i felt so microscopic all of a sudden, just by standing in front of the entrance :S
The interior design of many shops are seriously quite praiseworthy!!
Each of them emitting its own unique aura,
bringing out a myraid of style and flavour to allure consumerism~
(but of course.)


Well. this may not be a bad thing afterall! since it'd promote economic growth for the country in this recession period..
(ECONS!! Ohmy.. Angie's favourite.)
But then again, on the other side of the spectrum, thriftiness is a virtue too.
Wah.. Sounds contradicting huh?

See. Its called Bread Society!!
This will surely attract all the Pet Society lovers out there man!
(Hor ANQI? Hor Snuffy? Hor Vivaldi?) wahahhaha.

And the basement. neatly lined with stalls after stalls of foody food!!
comprising food cultures from all over the world~ shall give it a try next time..
yum :P

Tuesday after TTT, i went to visit my poor Angie the sickling.
First time seeing her down with such a serious illness :(
Maxie bought 4 bottles of 凉茶 for her
(initially he wanted half a dozen.. ><)

YC： Max! Enough le!! No need buy so many.

凉茶Auntie: 你看..他很疼你~

YC: . . .

And i bought some red grapes and chocolates :]

Just look at how caring her daddy is! :')
found this on the newspapers and had it cut out,
And he specially pasted this in her study room so as to serve as a reminder for her.
Aww.. Or is it just me who's easily touched by such little actions?
Let's learn to be a little more appreciative ba.. =)
i hope she'll feel better after downing what we bought for her.
please get well soon bff!



p.s. overjoyed for i got accepted :) its dawning on me.. finally!

The Day of the Eclipse.

When i heard on news about the eclipse, which was like
Once in a lifetime, i felt so high at that instance!
but... i realise this rare occurrence can only be seen in parts of China -.-
sian diao dot~
to think that i still asked some ppl to look out for the eclipse!
so blondey. throw face oledy ><

*Denial Mode Activated*

1,2,3,4~ Hi 5!
the five us went on a picnic~
bumblebee, felicia toe, (tickletickle~) lilan hamper, xiaobai and me!

weeeehoo. its really convenient when you have a car!
you do not need to fear looking like an auntie carrying
bulky bigbig NTUC plastic bags.. or fastening some greeny straw mats behind your back..
looking like a tramp or something :X
(gahh im exaggerating :P)
Armed with sandwiches, chips, fruits, drinks, radio and we're off~ :D

CUTE CANDIDS~

Wah. Eat banana also so serious ah?!

Ah. 这样就对了嘛~ its a sunny yellow banana day!

The end of a BIG happy day.
:)

"Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?"
Let's smell the sea, sway with the trees..
and sing happily.

p.s. 珊瑚海..!
